Wine Testimonials: Mini Round-Up for September 30, 2024

.I sample a bunch-o-wine (specialized term for much more than lots of people). So weekly, I share several of my red or white wine evaluations (usually coming from examples) and also sampling details in a "mini-review" format. They are meant to be unusual, exciting, and (mostly) easily-digestible customer reviews of (typically) presently readily available wines (click here for the skinny on just how to read all of them), therefore you can easily get right to the point and determine if they're for you (or otherwise). Cheers!
